Training – A Wise Use of Year End Budget Money

October 14, 2024

Tip written by: Infraspection Institute

When it comes to spending year end budget monies, the phrase “Use it or Lose it” often applies. Training can be a wise choice for those looking to reduce a budget surplus.

Training

Staying within budget is a constant challenge for maintenance managers. For many, it seems that there is never enough money in the budget. On occasion, however, it is possible to experience a surplus in one’s budget when nearing year end.

When faced with a budget surplus, it is imperative to fully utilize allocated financial resources. Failure to do so can cause a reduction in future budgeting if management perceives that your department is over funded. When searching for wise choices for year-end spending, training is always a good option.

Thermographic training is a sound investment for initiating a PdM program or expanding an existing one. Whenever considering infrared training be certain to:

  • Examine course curriculum to ensure that it meets your needs
  • Ensure that course will be germane to all infrared imagers
  • Determine course locations or availability of Distance Learning courses
  • Ascertain if certification is included with course, its expiration date, and renewal fees
  • Insist that instructors be practicing thermographers with documented field experience in their area of instruction
